The conference presentation will be the district's Girls in Technology event.

The goal for the presentation will be to create passion in other schools around the nation to begin a GIT event of their own. "It is so exciting to know that PTISD will have to opportunity to indirectly change the number of girls that participate in STEM around the nation", said Robin White, lead presenter.

During the presentation, the team will share with participants the steps and information necessary to host their own event. Each participant will leave with a packet that includes technology stations, lesson plans, parent notifications, invitations and a timeline for planning.
